GATHER UP invites different Bristol-based practitioners to lead morning classes to support the continuous training and development of experienced movers and professional dance artists. Morning Class takes place weekly on a Monday morning in term time.

Lisa’s class is drawn from Janis Claxton’s Move It! and is about mobilising, strengthening and energising the body and mind*. We will do this through connecting with our bodies to music and moving alongside each other in the following (loose) format:
The Circle - a short guided warm up to mobilise the body and check-in.
The Lines - approx. an hour of continual moving in a simple follow-the-leader format. Music is used to inspire, energise and motivate. Different tracks will inform and vary the pace, rhythm, and flow of our movement across the room. All moves can be adapted to meet the changing needs of your body and energy levels. You are also welcome to stop and take time out as you need.
The Horizontal - time for guided or self-directed stretching, cool down and checkout!
There will be some moving into and out of the floor, rolling and sliding. There will be very minimal direct contact/ touch which you can choose not to do.
